BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Hi everyone, it is time for Fashion Flash! I am brand new to this group, and I am super excited to be joining all these great bloggers every Monday. A wide variety of subjects will be covered because we all cover different subjects. This week Deborah Chase with No Nonsense Beauty Blog will be hosting. Deborah is from New York, and she is a very accomplished author. Be sure to check out all the great bloggers who will be coming to you each Monday.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The GFWC Grundy Woman’s Club that I am a member of has participated in a “Ladies Night Out” event for several years. The last two years, we have hosted the event. Food and admission are free to all, and there are vendors who set up and sell all different kinds of items. 
The woman’s club started the “Bras For A Cause” as a fundraiser for the Relay For Life. We charge $10.00 to enter a decorated bra, and then everyone can vote for their favorite by putting money in a cup in front of the bra. These bras can be pretty, funny, or serious. Here are some of my favorites.
We have some very talented ladies in our town. 
A past member of the woman’s club contacted me about a book she has written. Susan worked at one of the local banks in town and was the wife of the pastor of Vansant Baptist Church. This book chronicles her story of her diagnosis, treatments, and her reliance on God.
I wore this outfit one day while I was in Las Vegas. I tried it on before I left to make sure everything looked okay together, so I took a few pictures. This is just the cutest top. I bought it at a local boutique in town. It is by La Reine. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the cropped style, but I love it. I wore a pair of high-waisted pants with the top because no one wants to see my flabby, pasty-white stomach.
I hardly ever carry any of my vintage purses, but I thought you might like to see this one. It is a silver basketweave metal purse with a lucite handle and a dark gray lucite top. I bought this from the ladies who will be having a vintage fashion show in Marietta, Georgia this coming weekend. You never know what will be in the show.
I fell in love with these python print shoes by G.I.L.I. I bought them right before I left at the outlet store in town. I really, really like these shoes. The print is stunning and I love how the straps go at a diagonal and have a single stud closure. They are extremely easy to put on and take off.
The lace and the bell sleeve really make this top stand out. I also like how the top just flows about your body, that way there is no visible lumps and bumps. The navy pants, I know they look black here, are some that I have worn over and over. I love this pair because they are pulled on. They have just enough stretch to make them fit well, but they are not too tight.
I can’t believe the response that I have had to the Rodan and Fields multi-function eye cream giveaway. Either you gurls love to give a shout out to your town, or you are really wanting to try out Rodan and Fields. Either way, I LOVED all the responses. There were 362 responses, so I asked Siri to pick a random number between 1 and 362. I then counted to that number, and the winner of the eye cream is Sara Dubman from Appleton, WI!!!! You are one very lucky lady!
However, if you are really interested is trying out Rodan and Fields, message me, email me, or call me. I bought 40 sample packs while I was in Las Vegas, so the first 40 who message me will get to have a mini facial.
I have gotten several emails regarding the products offered by Rodan and Fields, and if you haven’t heard from me yet, I will get to you shortly. Because I know that not everyone is interested in these products (although you should be ?) I will add information about R & F at the bottom of my posts. This is a really exciting time to be an R & F consultant, with new products coming out and expansion into other countries. The income potential is high for anyone interested in signing up as a consultant. If you signup under me with a 395.00 package, I will send you a 25.00 Amazon gift card. If you signup with either the 695.00 or 995.00 package, I will send you a 50.00 Amazon gift card. Maybe you don’t think you are “right” for this type job, but you know someone who is. Guess what, if you show this to someone who signs up with either of the packages, I’ll send you a 25.00 referral fee!
If you are interested in the product and you sign up as a Preferred Customer, I will send you a body lotion. I am placing an order tomorrow for the ladies who signed up as PC’s this last month. I love taking care of my customers??? You can check out their products at, www.tstephens5.myrandf.com

WOW!!! Do I LOVE this look on you Tania! You are rocking those python heels. I love how that strap looks A definite and classic look. A definite look to wear!! You are honestly helping me see how certain tops with certain shoes and a handbag can look GREAT!!. It really helps when you state who made the tops, shoes and pants. That really helps!! Thank You!!
My sister-in-law battled breast cancer a few years ago and, thank god, won. So far, no remissions, no regrowth of tumour, so we are hopeful. Everyone in my husband’s family, who has passed, has passed due to cancer, and because of that, we are constantly on the look-out for all sorts of signs. For the most part, cancer takes time to grow, giving us time to be vigilant and check.
I know this sounds superficial given the gravity of the topic but I do love your top, Tania. Very dreamy.
And if you haven’t yet, do come over and join my weekly Friday Link-Up? I’d love to see you there.

Breast cancer is a scary disease but I am an ovarian cancer survivor and there is never any publicity for it. September is ovarian cancer month. Maybe next year, you could mention this in a post.
My grandmother lost her battle with ovarian cancer at the age of 49 which was years ago. There is not as much publicity about it and I commend you for wanting it more recognized. ~Lisa~
My mother is two-time breast cancer survivor. She had been in remission for five years and one month when they found cancer on the other side. Her faith in God and her resilient spirit is the reason we celebrated her 80th birthday last month. I am so blessed she is still with us and can say she has beat cancer! Praise God!!
Good morning! My paternal grandmother died of breast cancer, my mom is a breast cancer survivor and my niece is a liver cancer survivor (she was diagnosed at 32 and received a lover that transplant a year). Have a great day!
